Getting the Most Out of Your User Group

Have you ever wanted to learn more about the technology you use, but you do not know how or where to even begin? No need to fret. User groups are here to help!

When you use technology like RevTrak, the company loves to get users involved by creating user groups. A user group is a group of individuals just like you that meet to share best practices, learn expert tips, share concerns and ask questions. When you participate in a user group, you are immersing yourself in anything and everything technology. They are always a great way to network and learn from other users about how they use their technology and gain any advice they may have. Learn ways of how you can get the most out of your user groups.

Pay Attention

At a user group, it is vital that we listen and pay attention. When you are attending a session, you are there to learn more about the technology and hear from other users about their experiences. A good practice is to turn off the phone or laptop and pull out a pen and paper and be attentive.

Take Notes

Like above, when attending a user group, always have a pen and paper on you. As you are there to learn from others, when you are in a session, write down best practices and tips that you find helpful. There is a lot of information going around at user groups, and by taking notes you are remembering the important information specific for you and your company.

Ask Questions

User groups are an opportunity for you to learn the answers to questions you have been wanting to ask. By asking questions, you can even learn some interesting tips or facts. Use your time at your user group to ask those questions and talk with the experts who know the ins and outs of the technology.

Talk to Other Users

Another great opportunity user groups provide is the ability to speak with other users. If you want to learn other opinions or best practices, talk with other users. They are in the same boat as you and are there to learn. Not only does talking with other users help advance how you use your technology, but it builds relationships and allows you to network with other users.
